Anyone else 30+ yrs old that is "stuck" on their era of music?

[Carlton Banks]

I've dipped and dabbled in music past 2014 but I always stay stuck on my era of rap... I consider my era the late 90's - early 2000's.

I'm 39 and have always been looking for new current stuff. The one era I kind of stepped away from the game was from the mid 00s and to early 10s, even though I was still checking out what was going on. These couple past years have been very good with this new goon rap renaissance, mostly don't really listen to mainstream at all except the big hits.

Happens to everybody

 

[Street Knowledge]

That’s most people. You think you’re dad is listening to new music? Probably not

 

[FreshAIG]

On a regular, the majority of music I listen to is 80s, 90s, early 2000s

But I still listen to new releases from every current rapper I'm a fan of, and keep up with what's going on mainstream wise and in LA and NY.

But that's probably because while I have a wife, I don't have kids. If I had a full family, I probably wouldn't have time to keep up with the newer shyt like I do.

That’s the booth in a nutshell

I came up in the mid to late 90's, so that music will always be the nucleus of what I listen to, but I definitely go back and check stuff that was hitting before I was born as well. A lot of Ethiopian Jazz mostly. I might take an odyssey into Highlife for the summer too.

I fukk with a bit of modern music - Most of it is influenced by the same shyt I listened to growing up - Roc Marciano, Griselda, Shabazz Palaces. Once in a while I'll get back to my UK roots and listen to current Grime and some Jazz out of London too.

 

[Deltron]

most modern shyt I listen to either is influenced by the era I grew up in, or it's modern music by older artists...and I listen to a lot of instrumental stuff from any genre to keep me sane

for my trapped in the 90s nikkas

 

[letti cook]

yep

its funny cause I was always the one buying everything that came out...so my brother and cousins always hit me up asking what i think of the new whatever and I dont even know that the new whatever dropped or who the new whatever is

then i sit there with the trying to catch up

i appreciate alot of new shyt for the production and the flows they're coming up with...it just dont grab me the same and i rarely revisit

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

I don't get stuck in eras. I mean technically my era was mid 2000 snap garbage because that's when I came of age.

I've always gravitated more to music based on content. I like one off songs from a lot of young brehs when they saying something I wanna hear.

 

[BmoreGorilla]

I wouldn’t say I’m stuck on this period but I’d say the years of 93-03 is the time go back to the most becuz I was 12-22. I think those years age wise is where music leaves the biggest impression on you. After that your usually around the same age as most artists and tend to look that then a little different. But I still bump all kinds of new shyt if it’s dope

 

[Sad Bunny]

Nah. I am 32 and listen to everything new and old.

I love music

 

[DapMeUp!]

I only feel that way about rap for the most part.
I listen to a lot of the new R&B acts.
